PB hotel design editorial

Among Zurich's Belle Époque landmarks, few carry the civic weight of the 1909 palace that rises directly from the Limmat at Utoquai — a cream stone facade punctuated by wrought-iron balconies, blue-and-white awnings, and a mansard dome that anchors the lakefront with the confidence of a building that knows exactly what it is. La Réserve Eden au Lac Zürich, which joined the La Réserve group in 2018, hired Jacques Garcia to transform what had become a faded grande dame into something more precise and more considered — a hotel whose interiors acknowledge the Beaux-Arts envelope without being imprisoned by it. Garcia's response moves between registers with controlled assurance. The bar layers stacked birch logs against warm timber panelling and a veined marble artwork, the brick back-bar glowing amber against an extensive spirit collection — an atmosphere closer to an alpine hunting lodge than a fin-de-siècle salon. The restaurant softens that register further, wrapping cognac-leather banquettes in tartan throws, rattan chairs, and linen-shaded table lamps that produce a light more residential than institutional. Upstairs, the guest rooms reveal the building's idiosyncratic geometry most clearly: arched ceiling niches, steeply angled dormer walls, and warm walnut or reddish-brown timber panelling fitted around the mansard's original structure. Bouclé chaises, ceramic garden stools, and Eileen Gray–adjacent lounge chairs complete rooms that feel genuinely inhabited rather than assembled to a brief.

About

Unique and elegant, the legendary hotel is reborn, after several months of an ambitious undertaking nurtured by the creativity of Philippe Starck and La Réserve’s vision of excellence. La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich is a majestic building standing proud, serene, solid and calm like the wonderful days that have passed since it first opened on the lakeshore 100 years ago. Times are changing and Philippe Starck has come along with a subtly artistic and rebellious touch. He has in fact deconstructed Eden au Lac to better rebuild it for tomorrow, even closer to its true nature. From the 40 rooms and suites, to the restaurant and the bar, everything has been redesigned to offer guests a refined and timeless experience, true to La Réserve’s values of excellence, authenticity and simplicity.

"La Réserve Eden is a nice small luxury hotel, very well place in front of the Zurich lake, at walking distance of several points of interest at the heart of the city. I booked a room with a large terrace on the first floor. The terrace is quite nice, although I was not able to fully enjoy it due to the May weather, cold and windy during my stay. And the street just below it (Utoquai) is rather busy and noisy, which could make the experience less enjoyable. The room has been very nicely renovated by Philippe Stark, I love very much. Weak point is the lack of storages and wardrobes, as well as not so many amenities provided. I’ve tried the Kitchen & Bar, a very good 1* restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff there are really warm, kind and attentive. They didn’t just provide excellent service but made us feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Could not say the same about a housekeeper lady or other who does our turn down service, she clearly showed irritation and displeasure when I asked for the room to be turned down later. Such reactions make guests feel uncomfortable and are not in line with the level of hospitality one would expect. In the contrary the bellboys and doormen are exquisitely nice, I was positively pleased they greeted me with my name, while this is the first time I came to the hotel. The last thing that I also regret in this otherwise lovely hotel is the lack of a spa, although the hotel does provide in-room massage performed by external therapist."

"I have stayed in other La Reserve hotels but the Zurich Eden au Lac is now my favourite. Fantastic interiors - comfort and furnishings. Super staff - all. The general manager Nicole Zandt greeted me when I arrived and later helped me secure a table in the rooftop restaurant which in the warm weather is apparently always over subscribed. The hotel also introduced me to Sparkling Tea 'Champage' - a much appreciated alternative to alcohol. It was left in my room - complimentary and really delicious. Thanks to everyone - I will be back"

"A place with history - yet modern - elegant and casual at the same time. Settled almost directly at the Lake. Very close to Opera House surrounded by nice shops and restaurants. Definetly the posher part of Zurich."
